Hello and hope everyone is having a great year so far!
Pops gave me his '01 Tahoe a few months back after my '01 Blazers transmission blew @ 310K.
Luckily my father is a true Hoss and found himself an '09 Escalade to keep himself busy. We got the '01 Tahoe off a work buddy about 16 years ago.
We recently replaced the water pump, I just purchased 4 new tires & alignment. I purchased a new aftermarket headlight assembly as the original passenger side was busted and was stuck up shooting into outer space.. I also have a cheap aftermarket pair of tail lights coming as the ones currently are not necessarily horrible, but someone scraped the heck out of the passenger side one. Nothing fancy just want it to look clean.
I had to get the windshield replaced the other day as it always had a tiny crack and I think the carwash 3 weeks ago managed to damage it and it started to crack in all directions. While I was sitting at the auto glass shop owned by a friend I overheard him talking to a customer that went to the same carwash and their windshield cracked the next day.. I told him "I was there 2 days before this thing started cracking!" and he said that they get a lot of customers because of that specific car wash. Safe to say I'll be washing it myself from here out!
I've probably invested more in the last 4 months than my pops did over that 16 years hehe.. Currently has 160K miles on it and crossing my fingers this thing will last me a couple years or more. I've always owned Chevy/GMC's and feel more than comfortable with this as my daily driver, I do not drive much besides to work or occasionally visit family.
Only issue(s) currently is the Knock Sensors.. fortunately pops is a mechanic and I believe I purchased new sensors or a kit that he needs to install prior to inspection later this year. P0327 & P0332 for Low Input Bank 1 & 2 respectfully. Other than that I just want to fix up the tailgate as the Pewter Metallic paint has been bubbling and peeling right near the keyhole on the tailgate.. I absolutely hate the Pewter Metallic color but oh well. I'm waiting for the weather to break and warm up and I'll try and work some magic.
We left the rims from an old Yukon on it and I'd like to replace the GMC dust-covers, I tried ordering a blank pair online but they didn't fit. Least of my worries though and they look better than the Chevy's we've got buried in the backyard behind the garage hehe.
Anyway apologies for the lengthy introduction.. Smooth Sailing!
